The New Note.
Brooklyrf^ N. Y.?Preaching at
the Irving Square Presbyterian
Church. Hamburg avenue a<id Weirfield
street, on the theme, "The
Church's New Note," tlie Rev. I. W.
Henderson, pastor, took as his text
Mark 12:30: "Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength." He
said:
,Tne adaptability of the Gospel is
wonderful. In every epoch and in
every age wherever the truth of God
as it has been revealed in Jesus Christ
has been preached, it has been found
to be a fit guide for the leading of the
minds and hearts and souls of men. a
true solvent for the evils of the
epoch and the age in which it has
N been declared. Always it has possessed
a message that has been peculiarly
adaptable to the individual
and social iniquities and to the individual
and social spiritual yearnings
'and necessities of the society to which
it has been proclaimed. When in
apostolic times the preciousness of
budding human life was discounted
and largely unrecognized the vitalizing
Gospel of Jesus Christ revealed
t^e beauty and the value of life it gfelf.
When in the ante-Reformation
days the truth was endangered by the
regrettable unwisdom of the ecclesiastical
authorities of that day and
time the compelling Gospel of Jesus
opened wide the treasury of written
truth that had been preserved in all
its fragrance through the centuries
and a new era for mankind began.
As in those times so throughout
Christendom it has been. Whatever
may have been the sins, the spiritual
yearnings, the mode of thought, the
manner of expression, of any generation,
the Gospel has always adapted
itself and been found humanly adaptable
to the sihs, the yearnings, the
tnougnts, tne terminology 01 tne
period. Every revival in Christian
history, especially in the history of
the last four hundred years, has had
. its peculiar message, adaptable lo
the sins, the yearnings, the spiritual
needs, the thought and the terminology
of the time in which it has been
preached. Historians tell us that
when in the days of Jonathan Edwards?days
in which Christianity
was largely legalistic in thought and
speech?the fiery prophet of the living
God wished to bring men into an
open realization and confession o?
their sinfulness and their accountability
to God he preached them seri
-v. mons on the essential fact and necessity
of Divine sovereignty; and with
burning zeal declared to humanity, as
God gave him opportunity to sow the
seed o^ His truth, the wisdom of
yielding self into the control of the
Divine Ruler of the universe. Wesley
preached the truth of the freedom of
the will to a nation to whom freedom
was life. "Whosoever will may come''
was not all the Gospel then, nor is it
all the Gospel now; but it is the lever
of truth by which men in the days
of that great revivalist were most
quickly turned to love and serve God.
We are face to face with another
, great world-wide revival. We are
in the midst of it. It may not be recognized
in some quarters and it may
be blinked in others. Many men
. refuse to recognize it or they may fail
to have the insight to perceive it, but
It is here none the less. Evidencing
itself within the church it is expressing
itself more largely perhaps outside
of the church than within it.
Men are Gospel-hardened to the
messages of yesterday. Not that they
disdain Christ, but because the proclamations
of the past have lost,
through perfunctory familiarity with
them, the power to cut deep into their
souls. The edge of the truth has
- become dulled for them. It needs to
oe Drougnt xo xne tempering nre 01 a
flaming truth that shall startle and
attract men. It must he laid hard on
* the wheel of a compelling Divine verity
that shall put an edge on all that
has become dulled. The preaching of
Edwards will not do it, the oratory of
"Wesley will not do it, the burning
messages of Finney will not do it, the
declaration of God's love in the
mouth of Moody will not do it. These
are our places of departure. The
truth that these men have declared,
the men-we-are-after know. We
must vitalize that dormant truth by
flinging a new message into their
souls. "We must warm the chilled
embers of their own religious experiences
with the blaze of a modern
message that, having its inspirations
in the historic Christ, shall be indwelt
of His presence and energized 1
of His spirit for a special ministry i
to-day. Men know that God is sov- <
ereign; they know that the human i
will is free, for are they not exercis- <
ing it against God every day? They <
Jcnow that personal responsibility for
personal sin or decency is inescapa- s
ble; they know that God is love. We '
do not need to prove these things to "
them most insistently. What we need <
to do is to proclaim before them a s
new note from the old Anthem of <
God's revelation of His truth and
Himself in Jesus Christ that shall
find a correlative note in their own 1
souls and lead them back into har- 1
mony with the age-long chorus of the '
redeemed of God. It is the business 1
of the church of Jesus Christ to strike '
this note and to assume leadership.
Granted that these remarks be
true, -what then shall be our new
note? What note shall we strike? :
What word of God shall be our watchword?
What text in the Scriptures
shall epitomize our thought? About 1
what idea shall our preaching re- '
volve? In ihy humble judgment the
text which shall epitomize the message
of the new revival is that which
is to be found as indicated in the
text for this evening in the Gospel
according to St. Mark, the 12th capter
and the 30th verse: "Thou shalt ;
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with.
all thy mind, and with all thy
strength." And the idea that shall
crystallize' our thinking shall be the
conception of human love for God.
As the basis of Moody's evangel was ;'
the lovb of God for men, so, I verily
believe, ere we shall do the work for
Jesus that we desire to perform, we
must declare, with insistency and
with cumulative force, the identity,
the wisdom, the fairness, the efficacy
of human love for God.
The trouble with us to-day is not
that we do not know that God loves
us. The trouble is that men do not
love God. The evil which afflicts us
can only be cured by the exercise of
a controlling and vitalizing love for
God, such a love as shall mellow and
beautify the souls of men. The in-,
iquity which scourges us now and
torments us would not be if, in the
past, men had loved God. A thoroughgoing
love for God will make
evil conditions in this world as impossible
as they will be in the new
Jerusalem hereafter. The golden
rule has failed to accomplish its mission,
not because it is not a truth,
but because it is only half a truth,
as it is popularly used to-day. The
second commandment is a safe guide
for our rule and practice through life
only when it is correlated with that
primary commandment which our Lord
enunciated as at the logical centre of
the moral and spiritual realities. The
golden rule is not enough of a guide
for us as we travel toward the undiscovered
country. We must be more
than moral if we desire happiness
here and hope to enter into joy eternal
hereafter. The golden rule must
be vitalized by the living dirst principle
of the kingdom of God . The trouble
with the world is that men havebeen
altogether too well satisfied to
do and be done by, as God never intended
they should. See for a moment
how this half truth works in
practice. You and I are on the Stock
Exchange. You are satisfied that if
by trickery or falsification or by the
spreading of dangerous reports, true
or untrue, I can ruin yen, I /nay do
so, provided 1 afford you equda'opportunity
to do the same to me. You
and I are trading horses. It is all
right for you to fleece me with my
eyes open so long as I am permitted
to fleece you in the same manner..
V mi and F avp in business. It is
proper for me to steal your trade,
provided you have an equal opportunity
to steal mine. Of course this
meets a modern interpretation of the
golden rule, which says, "Whatsoever
ye are willing that men should do
unto you, do ye even so unto them."
But how grievously it violates the
spirit of Christ's law. The principle
of the business world too largely is
this, that it is all right for one dog
to eat the other, because they have
agreed that it shall be fair to play
the industrial and commercial game
that way. "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself," we are told.
But when this law is separated from
the correlated truth that Christ declared,
and transplanted alone into
the lives of multitudes of men to-day,
we understand what an awful halftruth
it has become.
In all seriousness, I do not desire
that some men shall love me in the
way they love themselves, outside of
Christ. I do not care to practice the
golden rule as to-day it is promulgated
in our social life, outside of Jesus
Christ, or to have it so practiced upon
me. For some men have no comprehension
of their own value and the
demands of their own integrity upon
their lives; and how, therefore, can
they appreciate the value of the lives,
the minds, the hearts, the souls, the
peace and purity and happiness of
their fellow men? Some men have
such a small estimate, seemingly, of
themselves, judged by the way they
treat themselves, that we should be
untrue to ourselves did we not resent
like treatment by them of us. Some
men have such a debased idea connn^ninor
nrliot io T1 Or h f frtl' YY1 On tf? H f?
V/Ul UIU5 nuot JO 1 AW* AA*VM WW WW
unto them that they cannot be expected
to know, unless the grace of
God inform them, what ihey should
do to their fellows.
The message for our own time, the
appeal of to-day, must be based on
the text I have read. Its theme must
be the love of man for God. Loving
God, we shall conserve the interests
of our own personalities and gain a
divine value of our own worth to Gad
and to the world. Loving God, we
shall know the value of our brethren.
Do you suppose for an instant that
men would have the audacity to publish
declarations that they were only
worth a paltry couple of hundred millions
if they really loved God as God
means they should? Do you suppose
for an instant that they would boast
that they can buy legislatures and
judges and the government, if they
loved God as Jesus loved Him? If
we loved God as Jesus means we
should, do you suppose that we would
stand for child labor, with all its horrors
and cruelties; for the saloon
as it is, with all its fruitage of vice
and crime and misery and poverty
and despair? If we-loved God as
Jesus means we should, have you the
slightest suspicion that we wcfttld permit
women by the thousands to be
sent into the brothel in economic selfdefense?
If men loved God, would
it be thinkable that they would murder
and rape, and steep themselves
in drunkenness, in bestiality and
crime? Do you think that if we
could eet men to love God, they
would not have again a lively consciousness
of His sovereignty as Edwards
declared it, and of their free
will to do the right as Wesley declared
it, and of their personal responsibility
as Finney declared it, and
Df their indebtedness to divine love as
Moody declared it?. I think not.
The new note of tne church will be
the love of men for God. For it is
the second logical step in the scheme
of redemption in Christ. God in
Christ hath already loved men, and
now loves them. It is for them
to reciprocate His love. The new
message must be the central truth of
the kingdom of God on its manward
side. We must lead men to love
God. Then shall we reach them.
Getting men to love God, we shall
transform the individual character;
we shall regenerate society; we shall
make wars to cease and all nations
throughout all the earth to dwell in
righteous and godly fraternal relationships..
The task is great. But
it is not impossible. The means and j
the method we shall discuss at another
time. But when we shall have {
gotten men to love the living God,
then shall we hear a voice out of j
Heaven saying unto us, "Behold, the j
tabernacle of God is with men, and
He will dwell with them, and they
bhall be His people, and God Himself
b^ll be with them, their God."

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses
which too often come with marriage
and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
